Beschreibung

Hey there, my name is Will! I am 25 years old, originally from Seattle, USA, but am currently pursuing a master’s in environmental science and engineering in Switzerland.

I'm a cheerful, diligent, and easy-going person who loves outdoor sports from surfing to skiing and value being in touch with my environment. I studied environmental sciences and resource management for my bachelor's and have worked numerous outdoor jobs and have lived in a tent for weeks at a time, developing a deep appreciation for conservation and environmental management.

With it being my summer holiday, I would love to continue learning about sustainability outside the classroom from a more organic, hands-on approach. Permaculture and agroforestry are two areas I'm particularly interested in, though I love any project that gets my hands dirty outdoors.

Mehr Infos zu meinen Sprachinteressen
I studied Spanish for 5 years in high school and Norwegian for 1 year in university, but English is the only language I am fluent and able to teach in unfortunately. While my masters program is in English, I am particularly interested in learning French so that I may better communicate with professors, peers, or people around town. Wherever I end up, learning the local language is important to me and I would love to practice with you :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

While I am pursuing an engineering degree, environmental sciences have been my passion since I was young and is where my true interests lie. I've always tried to supplement my traditional studies with relevant work or volunteering experience and spend my free time tinkering with woodworking projects, sports gear, or so on.

I have ample experience working outdoors and with manual labor, as I have built and maintained hiking trails and parks professionally, worked at ski areas and golf courses, contributed to forest ecology field research, and have been volunteering with habitat restoration and hiking trail projects since I was 14.

I've designed and built projects like truck campers, backyard ski jumps, and even worked as a metal fabricator for a sculpture artist, and am comfortable with using light hand tools or woodworking tools alike. I am also handy with tasks around the house including cleaning, woodworking, painting, etc. and would always love to help prepare meals in the kitchen or any other tasks you would like assistance with. Additionally, I was a bartender at a brewery in New Zealand, which helped me develop a keen eye for cleanliness and detail.

Additionally, I am great with both kids and animals, as I grew up babysitting kids in my neighborhood, lived with pets, and have cared for wildlife in a research context. Your children might be better than me at football but I am patient and love to play games!

In my free time, you'll catch me hiking, running, reading, or relaxing in a hammock! I live an active life and have a lot of energy to help with any tasks you would need of me.
